Alan Harper: "I made my debut at Goodison against Stoke and was standing in the tunnel waiting to go onto the pitch. Z cars started playing on the PA and I heard the crowd roar. If I could bottle a moment and save it forever, then that would be it.

I don't ever remember a game being called off at Goodison, full stop. The groundsmen seem to be very good at their job. I'm actually quite proud of our pitch, truth be told

our game against leeds in december 2000 was postponed due to snow .... don't remember though if the ground was unplayable or it was due to people not being able to travel .... I'm proud of our pitch (and groundsmen) aswell

Had some hail 5 minutes ago but that won't stop the game. Only had one match postponed in recent years and that was due to the council not gritting around the ground and the whole area being dangerous for pedestrians.
